America Idol’s very own, Jordin Sparks, releases her eponymous debut effort next week Tuesday (November 20th) as well off of Jive records. The Idol’s album includes some crazy, stellar production from the likes of Stargate, with the first single ”Tattoo,” and The Underdogs.

My, my, my, despite critic’s frivolous claims towards Sparks’ efforts, this album isn’t half bad, for a debut, especially considering how young the Arizona-native actually is. I’m so, so proud of Sparks becos she has come a very long way, for the most part, she gets high praises from me.

Overall this album wasn’t anything I expected, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad thing, there was some wicked jams and unordinary downbeats. I don’t think fans, existing or potential, will be disappointed. Some of my favorites are “No Air,” “Freeze,” “Shy Boy,” and “Just For The Record”.

OneRepublic make their amassing debut with Dreaming Out Loud, set to be released November 20th off of Interscope and Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group, if your feeling any of the following material from them you should go out and pick up your copy.

With the mutual success of “Apologize” I found it cumbersome to get into this album, but after I got over the fact, it wasn’t so bad. In culmination with aesthetic arrangements this album had incredible rock ability I’d say. Production for this particular project include Ryan Tedder, Timbaland and Greg Wells on the group’s first official single lifted entitled “Mercy”.

Overall, for a debut, Dreaming Out Loud wasn’t so bad in my opinion. I think OneRepublic hit all the pro marks, respectively, for this album. An album I would definitely recommend for a solid buy. My favorite tracks, in no particular order, are “Apologize,” “Stop and Stare,” “Someone To Save You,” “Tyrant,” and “Won’t Stop”.

Here is the world premiere video of Gwen Stefani’s “Early Winter” from the album Sweet Escape. It’s very artsy and real vibrant. This was one of my favorites from the album too.

MISSY AND KEYSHIA ON STAGE AT THE “DOUBLE UP TOUR” IN ATLANTA

R Kelly’s currently on tour with Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo, and J.Holiday, and the crew touched down in Atlanta last night. I’m hearing Keyshia’s giving a little trouble behind the scenes though. I was reading on Fresh’s site that homegirl wasn’t too happy about her dressing room arrangement (and the show line-up) at the previous show in Columbus, Georgia. She did NOT go on stage that night because she didn’t wanna go BEFORE Ne-Yo! Why? Because she believes that she’s bigger than he is. Wow… Lol. Style Razzi has all the info on that. But it looks like they came to some kind of agreement cause she hit the stage last night in Atlanta. If anyone went to the ATL show last night, PLEASEEEEE hit us up! I wanna know who came first … Keyshia, or Ne-Yo?? Lol!

But on the real, she needs to chill out with that. Drama on the road is not cool, especially when you have to be around these people almost all day long for a period of 2 - 4 months. Wasn’t she the one causing issues a couple of years ago during Kanye’s tour?? It was something between her and Fantasia if I remember correctly.

Lil Wayne’s mug is plastered on the cover of 3 different XXL Magazines (Jan/Feb 08 issue) for the magazine’s annual “Love/Hate” issue. I think Weezy’s becoming the “Beyonce” of hip-hop, which isn’t such a bad thing because you know he’s making that paper and getting some good exposure! But wasn’t he just on the cover of XXL not too long ago? Peep the rest of the covers after the cut. CONTINUE READING

Talented pianist David Sides plays a medley of songs from Kanye West’s latest album, Graduation, in memory of the late Donda West. This guy is BEYOND talented! Just click on the video and browse through his other songs. He’s done songs from Rihanna’s “Umbrella” to  T-Pain’s “But You A Drink” to even J.Holiday’s “Bed!” Amazing, just amazing…

EDIT: Video fixed, sorry about that. Thanks Kanye Talk!

With Chris Brown gearing up for the release of his new movie, “This Christmas,” he re-made the popular Donny Hathaway track (that goes by the same name) for the movie’s soundtrack, and you can check out the video for it above. Make sure you head out to the movies when this movie hits theaters November 21st, which is the day before Thanksgiving!
